Perfection

This home is stunning. Everything was perfect for our stay. Clean and stocked with all the right amenities. It was a lot bigger than it looked in the pictures. We had plenty of space for 8 adults. Loved how close it was to the beach. Would definitely stay here again!

Loved the location of this rental so close to the beach and walking path for our daily walks. The rental was clean and with beautiful finishes throughout. We enjoyed our time on the outside patio next to the fire pit. We were unable to get the air on downstairs so it was a bit warm.
